Carrying Over Stories

Sometimes Stories don't get finished during a Sprint. You can carry over any incomplete Story into another Sprint or to the Backlog. Carrying over a Story performs the following actions:

  • Creates a new Story with the same amount of points as the original.
  • Carries over any Tasks that are not complete.
  • Creates a relationship of type Carry Over to the original Story.
  • The new Story title is prefixed with [Carried Over].
  • Discussions, Attachments, etc are not carried over to the new Story.
  • The original Story Status control is yellow to indicate the carry over action.
